SCE looks pretty much on target. Couple of questions, if anyone knows the answers: 1) So SCE takes over for WSUS, is this correct? 2) Is there any agent installed on client machines during discovery? 3) What types of things can you monitor for the web monitoring/Db monitoring? 4) Will this product let me know if a HDD looks to be going bad in any of my machines, client and/or server? 5) Is there any bandwidth type monitoring available here, or should I stick with MRTG/PRTG for that? That's all I can think of off the top of my head, after watching their little video... Joe Heaton

Small network, less than 20 servers at our central site, a few HP/Cisco switches, and 3 servers in remote offices, going over a WAN link provided by our ISP. I'd like something that's going to give me server health, network health, possible troubleshooting tools, etc. Something that's going to be able to tell me before a hard drive actually fails, so I can proactively repair. Something that might tell me that I'm suffering from some broadcast storm on one of my switches, etc. Let me know if more info is needed to make a recommendation. Have to stay away from Open Source.
